Use Wine when running OS from USB drive?

Can Wine be used when the Linux install is running from a bootable USB
thumb drive?

I have a laptop that currently has Win7 on it and that cannot be changed
since the machine is shared and another user needs programs that won't
work through Wine at this time.

This is probably silly, but I remember someone having trouble before
because of a capital letter - check the folder and be sure of the name

Unless they have made changes since release, Spore has a root-kit-ish

I would check the appb before buying. I know there have been posts in

Wine. I'm not sure if that is one of those or not, but better to check
first.
